Now tell us something about Gary Moore that’s not on the official bio…
I caught a touchdown pass from Joe Namath. It was a pickup game in 37th Street Park in Beaver Falls. Joe was captain and picked me first for his team, which was an honor because there were lots of his buddies from the high school football team there. I guess he was saying, “I can beat the rest of you guys even with Gary on my side.” The first play from scrimmage we huddle and Joe says, “Gary, you go down to the tree, pass it on the right, cut left and come out from behind the tree.” The tree was the goal line, right in the middle, maybe thirty yards away. I did what he said and when I came out from behind the tree the ball was in my hands. I was, and am, a lucky guy. Even if I can’t get that damn novel published.

Ann,
Gary Moore--what an interesting character. Much more interesting to me, actually, than Abraham Lincoln. He seems to adore Abraham Lincoln in a way that makes it difficult for him to fathom the indifference of others.
His style is so friendly and disarming. Very charming.
Nice Interview.

Thanks Cindy! I too find Gary more interesting than Lincoln, but he has gotten me intrigued by this 16th president, I must admit.
